I am preparing for the practice exam now, which was included with the course. I do that over the Internet. It is 4 hours long, and so I'll need a quiet house. When I complete that, it'll tell me what areas I need to work on, and I have to print up a certificate when I complete it. Then, I start to prepare for the actual exam. I schedule that when I'm ready, and it's $100 to take the test. Luckily for me, there's an approved testing facility here in town, about 10 minutes from our place. There's only three in the state. I take my certificate, and calculator when I'm ready. The course itself has costed about $750 so far, so not too bad. But, once I pass the test & start up my business, that's when it gets expensive.

Another fine Monday. It's raining, chilly, and both secretaries here (me and my sister) are crabby. Thank goodness for lunchtime delivery! Maybe some carbs and fat will put us in a better frame of mind.

:x + subs = cheesy

you crabby?!
Did lunch fix it?

Good afternoon, everyone! How are you all? All is well here. Hope you're having a great Monday so far or as great as a Monday can be!

What is new with you all? Nothing new here. Just relaxing. DH is at work, so the kids are at daycare/preschool, so I thought I would visit with you all.

Do you all have any plans for tonight? No plans for me - I work tonight. I don't know what we will do for dinner. I just plan on spending time with the kids and DH, until taking a nap.

Well, I am off to read the posts for the day. Enjoy your evening, everyone! Thinking of you all! God Bless and keep smiling!

just sitting around watching dancing with the stars, while catching up here and playing silly games on my iphone.
Have a great night at work!

OK< I give up! If I continue to try to read all these posts I will be here till the wee hours of the morning. I am to tired for that.
Messed up my day! Came into work 1/2 to early, took to long for break and then did not know I was off an 1/2 hour before I thought I was. Talk about reading the schedule wrong!!
So triple checked to make sure I had the rest of the week right.

So now I am going to drag myself upstairs to watch the rest of DWS in comfort!

Good night all.

Hello friends, greetings from flood ravaged Peoria. It's been quite awhile since I checked in. I sure did miss you wonderful folks. I hope everyone is well and I hope to catch up on some of the happenings.

Nice to see you BP, I hope you are safe from the floods.

They didn't tell them it was my birthday, thank goodness! It is my girlfriend's birthday on the 2nd of May, so trust me, I would have got her too!

You are lucky they didn't do that to you. cheesy

 

[HomemakinGirl]

Well everyone, now that I've had my afternoon commentary :lol:, I'm all caught up, so I am going to go make a cup of coffee, light a candle, and make a cake for my girlfriend's birthday.

I also need to get a gift together - just some things I bought today for a friend at work - she found out two weeks ago she has colon cancer and she had surgery today. I've know her my whole life. She's my mom's age, so it really hits home. She's a nurse with me. Keep her in your prayers. She did well in surgery. Praying everything continues to go well.

Talk to you all later. I will stop back in later on. Enjoy your evening!

I will pray for your friend (((hugs)))

Well I hadn't heard from my friend for almost a week but he showed up today. I have to tell you, when I get done turning his story into a movie, no one is going to believe that this really happened. I mean you have to be a special kind of stupid to make this many bad decisions in real life. (Too harsh?)

On the positive side though. It means more timing filming with Angelina Jolie for me!!!! :lol:

I laughed so hard when I read that, I probably shouldn't have but I couldn't help it. :lol:

I've never heard of that restaurant, but it reminds me of the birthday "ritual" at Bugaboo Creek (a steakhouse chain). They staff would clap their hands and sing "Happy Birthday" to the tune of the Hallelujah Chorus while carrying a plush moose head to the celebrant's table. The final words were "Kiss the moose!" and they'd thrust the moose head toward the celebrant. If we went there on one of our birthdays, we'd keep shut about it ... we couldn't bear thinking about the "kiss the moose" germy-ness of that moose head!

I would rather kiss a real moose. cheesy

Funny, funny. I was only going to do it if Luke was there to saddle up with me. :lol:

Ummm...it's a family restaurant. cheesy

She's in my thoughts, Sugar.

Good afternoon, MMC!

I hope this finds everyone well! I don't have time to catch up at this time as I have so much to do yet today.

This morning I took Mouse to the vet's - she either has a tooth problem or something much worse. I take her back on Wednesday. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers!

My basement is getting back to normal - the floor is still a mess, but it is to be expected as it is a "Michigan basement". With the area drying out, my phone started working again - that is why I am on here today. It is always something here. cheesy

I have several broccoli and acorn squash plants started - they are looking good. Today I started fennel, sage, rosemary and sweet baby peppers. I plan on having a really big garden - it is fun!

Time to get back to work.

Be safe and MERRY!!!

Nice to see you, Mouse is in my thoughts.
